Re: grounding valve cover (Shadow Templar)
It's not grounding your valve cover, its grounding your engine.
You should also have a ground running to your tranny.
You have alot of electrical components that use the engine as a ground. If Your engine is not grounded to your chassis(which is hooked to your neg. battery terminal), alot of your electrical compontents can be affected.
Your engine is probably running ok right now because all the current is running through your tranny ground, but is doing so less efficiently.
I actually helped a guy trouble shoot a "no start" today. The starter would just click and would not engage. After testing the battery, I noticed he had no engine or tranny ground.
I threw on an engine an tranny ground and it fired right up.
Grounds are important!
